Looks very stripped down...

Ooh, ONE USB port! And stunning resolution! Doesn't look very light either. I hope it's at least durable. And don't get me started on ECS' (severe lack of) quality. Might be fun to tinker with if it's rugged and the price is right.

Depressing

Yet another boring cut down laptop. Depressing that Intel is behind it. I would have hoped that Chipzilla would be doing something innovative with solid-state memory and no moving parts. Maybe that's the 3rd generation?

But!

But, is it ToughBook quality?

Remember, the trogs may attempt to hit each other with them. Wouldn't want to damage the sensitives inside, forcing the parents to buy a new one in expaseration every week! (Or every day, if some tales of certain schools are anything to go by.)

Tykes and computers

Why?

What the hell do kids really need computers for? Certainly not for education.

In my interactions with school age kids it is getting obvious that research skills are getting worse and kids are falling into the trap of just believing the first Google hit they get, doing a cut and paste and they're done.
